  • On Reaching Young Men for Christ: Interview with Andy Young
    2026/09/23

    In this episode of the Unashamed Truth Podcast, Grant Castleberry sits down with Andy Young, pastor of Oxford Presbyterian Church in Oxford, England, to discuss reaching and discipling a new generation of young men.

    Andy shares his journey to Christ, his introduction to the doctrines of grace, and the work God is doing through a Reformed church in the heart of one of the world’s most influential university cities. He also reflects on what young people are searching for today: authenticity, substance, transcendence, community, and beauty.

    Grant and Andy discuss biblical masculinity, the importance of strong preaching and sound doctrine, and why discipleship requires patient, personal investment. Rather than lowering the bar to reach young men, Andy argues that the church should offer them something deeper: the truth of Scripture, the glory of Christ, meaningful Christian community, and a vision of manhood shaped by courage, humility, conviction, and sacrifice.
